I've been watching the slcon talks as they appear on youtube, and I noticed that sbase was looking for a maintainer. I'd be happy to start maintaining it.
As for the not-yet-in-place philosophy of the project, I see as far as keeping any system-specific stuff out. So, modprobe/ifconfig/nldev wouldn't have a place there, but I could see including sltar, and similar projects. The system-specific stuff could easily all be lumped together into some kind of linuxutils, bsdutils, so forth. Speeking of nldev, it seems very interesting, and I'd love to get all that udev/systemd crap off my system, but that's for another email. Dave
